friday field trip (from the sketchbook).
june 2012
(the mediterranean sea)
antibes, france
i realize that my friday sketch posts have been severely lagging. this is mostly because i was watch-free + phone-free in france for 6 weeks. i never knew what time it was or even what day it was. this was so wonderfully freeing. i existed purely on my own body’s clock. ate when i was hungry, slept when i was sleepy, worked when i felt moved to work, etc . . . every whim was met and granted with no questions asked. and so i ask myself why life can’t be like this always ? certainly we do need clocks to make our dental appointments and catch our planes, but honestly, shouldn’t we rely more on our own instincts and intuitions in life ? i vow to make even more of an effort to live my life in this way.
for me, it’s about slowing down and existing for the moment in time. not hurrying ahead and not being slowed down by the past.
(p.s. . . this was painted on eden roc using the mediterranean sea as my water with the water colour paints. it was a perfectly profound moment in time that i will always remember fondly)

picasso, picasso, picasso.
the musée picasso in antibes is my new favorite museum EVER. it has amazing art, it’s a beautiful building, and it sits right on the mediterranean sea with killer views out of all of the windows. basically, i’d love to live in this museum.
one of my favorite paintings.
it also has a large selection of his ceramics.

le papillon.
following suit with my butterfly theme here in france, this beautiful french butterfly was perched upon one of my 12 vessels at the opening of our show. i can’t but help think that this was an auspicious omen.

show + tell.
our show in vallauris, france opened yesterday. in spite of the extremely HOT weather, we managed to have a great turnout and plenty of rosé in the house to bring everyone’s temperature down just a few degrees.

les bouteilles.
here are my finished bottles. the raw beauty of this black clay gives them the illusion of a chimney, which was my first inspiration for them. i also discovered this cool box of glaze “chalk” that i purchased here in france. this black clay makes for a perfect chalkboard.

inspiration.
everything here in france is so beautiful to me, without even trying to be. i can even find inspiration right under my feet.

standing room only.
this is my walk home from the studio. the street is SO narrow that when a car comes, you literally have to step into a doorway to let it pass ! so charming.
